    I have a question for you, when they fix % damage on weapons with elemental, will it be the best choice to roll over the attack speed in terms of damage increase(10% dmg vs 7% as), Specifically in the case of this fellows thunderfury?

    posted a message on Help compare 2 great items (Good D3 Smarts & Number Crunching Power Needed!)
    Hey everyone! I'm looking for someone that knows how all the numbers work in D3 to help me compare 2 great items. It might take quite a bit of calculation so if you're up to the challenge any help would be immensely appreciated!

    To start off, I play a Barb and I use Whirlwind (Wind Sheer) which is a lightning skill so I greatly benefit from +Lightning Skill Damage.

    So my question is thus. Which of these 2 items does more damage to elites while using the lightning skill Whirlwind (With Wind Sheer)

    Up first we have a yellow ring with these stats

    Yellow Ring
    393 Str
    5% AS
    43% Crit dmg
    5% Crit Chance

    Overall Stats with Yellow Ring
    Damage to Elites - 0%
    AS from items - 39%
    Crit Hit Chance - 45%
    Crit Hit Damage - 447%
    Overall Lightning dmg to lightning skills - 32%

    Whirlwind Weapon Damage - 352%
    Unbuffed Damage - 889,728

    Next we have a Stone of Jordan with these stats

    Stone of Jordan
    18% Lightning Skills
    433 Str
    27% Elite DMG

    Overall Stats with SoJ
    Damage to Elites - 27%
    AS from items - 34%
    Crit Hit Chance - 40.50%
    Crit Hit Damage - 404%
    Overall Lightning dmg to lightning skills - 46%

    Whirlwind Weapon Damage - 401.5%
    Unbuffed Damage - 749,762

    According to Blizzard's damage calculation which doesn't take into account 18% lightning and 27% elite dmg, I gain roughly 15-18.7% damage increase from the yellow ring
    If there are any numbers I forgot please let me know!
